CHAPTER 8

  Honestly, I felt touched because they value me. Even though we had only been together for a month, they treated me differently. They aren’t bad boys to me. They are too delicate.

  BECAUSE I was awake for about a week, I slept all day. I just woke up when there was a knock on the door. I stood up to see who it was.

  “Did I interrupt your sleep?” Clarence asked as I opened the door.

  “No, not really,” I lied. “Why? Do you need something from me?”

  “A-Are you in for a movie marathon?” He stammered in nervousness while asking me to watch a movie with them.

  “All right,” I simply agreed.

  “Come on!” he said excitedly.

  WE WENT to the living room together. The five other men were there, sitting on the sofa and chit-chatting, but to my surprise, Hyde was nowhere to be seen.

  Why am I even looking for that man?

  I sat down between them and grabbed snacks that Axle handed me. Zombie is the film we watched.
